In Germanic mythology, elves were depicted as a race of [minor nature and fertility gods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goddess-collection), often portrayed as youthful-looking men and women of great beauty. They are said to live in forests, underground, caves, or in wells and springs. Some say they are long-living or even immortal and are beings of magical powers. Getting magical power by dressing up in elfenkleid (translation: elf dress) is questionable, but at least we get a touch of that “youthfu -seeming great beauty”. At least that's something for us Non Middle Earth creatures, don't you think? Elfenkleid is a leading avant-garde label from Austria. Founded eight years ago in Vienna by designers Annette Prechtl and Sandra Thaler, elfenkleid soon gained recognition and acknowledgment especially in Europe and Japan.
